What Would Happen-If
What would happen if, up until Election Day in No v-
ejtnber, I960,, every citizen, took politics seriously, arid determined to do. _is or her' level best to give this counti'y
the best Administration it had ever had?
What.- would happen if each individual citizen decided;
to study, the issues and candidates as carefully as he or
she weighs the merits of a baseball or football team, or
the length of skirts or the newest color make-up?
Whatf would happen if each individual citizen familiarized himself or herself with the programs of the two
parties ty as great an extent, at least, as he or she
considers,, the merits of a country club?
Wha,t: would happen if each individual citizen, remembering that he or she supports the Government by taxes,
studied Government spending with as careful an eye as he
or she rjihs his own business or her own home?
t What;' would happen if each individual citizen, having
decided which party program he ior she preferred, became
active in,, that party's local politics?
What, woiUd. happen if each individual citizen, having
studied issues, worked within the party of his or hex-
choice to the end. in making the party locally aware of
the issues, rather than slavishly following the lead of the
national group?
What; would happen if each individual citizen studied
the records of all candidates and turned out all like-minded
people to vote in the primaries ior tne candidates best
qualified to do the job needed to be done?
What would happen if each individual citizen made
his or her analysis not on personal prejudices or party
loyalty, but on whether the candidate was an opportunist
or a dedicated lawmaker, a man ior woman who would
bend or stand firm under pressure, and above all on, his
record of kept promises?
What would happen if each individual citizen, having
determined upon his or her candidate and issues, went
out and really worked for the candidates election?
What would, fhappen if each individual citizen registered
on time, and'ithen on Election Day, went out and voted?
Of course, it is only a thought — but what WOULD
happen?
Paris Should Be Far Enough
The mystery show that transcends anything currently on TV or offered by the movies is President Eisenhower's
expansion of his journey to Paris for the Western summit
conference into a, 20;000 mile-tour that will include the
capitals of Italy, Turkey, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India,
Iran and Greece — with a visit to Morocco following the
Paris meeting.
It is puzzling frpjn a number of angles. The trip comes
at a time when the work load of any Administration is
at its peak, during the formulation of the budget, the

on the state of the union.
And th,e. state of the union, as it appears to the,
casual observer, hardly seems tranquil enough to justify
a three weeks absence of the Chief Executive from his post.

sponsor a residential Christmas Decorating Contest in the
North Canton School district area this year.
This is the first time there has been a Christmas
lighting contest in this community.
Contest co-chairmen are Nelson J. Cobb and William
Willis.
The contest, which opens Dec. 16 and ends Dec. 24, is
being promoted, said Jack Sponseller, Jayeee president, to
spread the spirit of Christmas through decorations and
displays.
Winners in the three categories will receive $50 savings
bond and first place winners will be entered in the General
Electric $5,000 Nationwide Decorating Contest.
The three divisions are: (1) best over-all decoration;
(2) religious theme; (3) Santa Claus theme.
Named as judges are: Vernon Sell, publisher of the
North Canton Sun; Fred Stevens of the art department of
the Hoover Co.; and Robert Cowan, owner iof G & II
Sign Co.
Each contestant is requested to fill out and mail the
entry blank, printed below, on ior before Dec. 16.
Those Elections
Recent scattered elections have sonie national significance, though perhaps not as much as has been suggested.
Some of the contests were of considerable interest beyond
city and state borders.
There was no surprise in Mississippi's election of another Democratic governor. The situation in, Kentucky is
more noteworthy. There, although the. state' now has two
Republican senators, a Democrat' was elected governor by
a wide margin. This hints at a weakening of. Republican.
Gov. A. B. Chan^le^'s influence. It also may ideate that
Kentucky, which wentv for President, fiisenh.wer in 1956,
is now back in the Democratic fold.
Democrats showed great strength in mayoralty elections in Ohio, Indiana and Connecticut. The, city race which
attracted the most w.idespread~attentiio;ri was that in Philadelphia, where Harold E.- Stassen's political decline was
given a push by M&yor Richardson Dilworth's return to
office. Whatever else this, shews, it does.point.to.the,fact_|
that Philadelphia, once .T.GCXP GibralteiV is" now* a'nemo-'
erati. cit&
Supt. E. R. Malone and C.
Wayne Russell, principal of
•Hoover High.
Guest speaker- for the event
was A. Jerd Bayless, band director, at Lincoln High School in
Canton.
He gave a humorous description of "The.Life of a Band Director," based on his 40 years
as a band mertiber.or director.
■ While in his teens he was a
member of the National Champion Boys Band which was drafted as a national guard unit during World War I.
Presenting awards of appropriately engraved tie tacks anc5
bracelets to the 18 senior banc-
members were Mr. and Mrs
Don Holl, head of the North Can

Planning Commission Asks Council
For Changes in Zoning Ordinance
North Canton councilmen approved a planning commission
recommendation for an amend,
ment to the zoning ordinance
during a regular meeting Monday, Nov. 9.
The present ordinance requires
buildings to be set back 50 feet
WotI< Begins On Walsh College
Work has commenced on. the construction of North
Canton's first college, Walsh • College, an institution of the
Brothers of Christian Instruction. The Catholic liberal arts
college, nam.ed for the Most Rev. Emmet M. Walsh D.D.,
bishop...of the. Young, town diocese, will be located on the
North Canton-Maximo Rd. across from the Hoover camp.
The general contractor is Melbourne Bros. Construction Co.
Rev. Brother Thomas Darrell, president of the college, announced that if permanent buildings are not completed in
time for a late 1960 fall opening, the college will use tempor-
_any .qnartere^Overall cost of.the-buildiHg project is estimated
near one million dollars, including, the cost of the 50-acre
site. Architects for the classroom and administration build
ings are J-_res_one & Motter of Canton. The educational
unit will include six classrooms and five laboratories, a
library, student lounge, book store, offices, conference rooms
and other facilities. A cafeteria for snack-bar services will
be constructed under the lobby. In the administration structure will be 14 rooms to house the religious faculty and a
wing to the rear to provide rooms for 30 students of re.
ligion. The institution, however, will be open to young men
of all denominations. The Brothers also operate La Mennais

from the roadway. The amendment would give authority (o
the planning commission to
change the setback limit when,
topographical co*idi;i->r.s required it, with final approval . to
come from council.
Another amendment =ugges+ed
by the .planning commission was
referred to the street and alley
committee for study in co.'.junc-
tion with the commission.
This amendment would require the use of slag or lime-
-,fone on new streets in new
llotments, assuring the community of better-wearing long-
r-lasting streets. The required
-inch layer would have to be
ompleted before council would
ccept the street.
Referred to the finance com-
--ii11r-o was a recommendation
iy lhe board of public affairs
or a wage rate increase for
ourly - paid and salaried em-
•loyes in ihe water deparfment.
In other business council:
REFERRED back to the spfe-
V committee sludy of an educational program concerning the
tse of bicycles. The commit-
ee reported licensing of bi-
?veles, as recommended by the
Optimist Club, is found to be
inpracticable and unenforceable
:n other areas where such licensing has been put into effect.
DECIDED to seek Chamber
if Commerce assistance in
"cleaning up" the town after
hearing a report of the recent
fire department inspection.
Council also was informed thai:
the Norih Canton Junior Chamber of Commerce has taken on
the project of clearing up fire
hazards and unsightly areas in
the community. Along with this
they discussed complaints from
numerous residents concerning
accumulation of rubbish in <he

Those Elections
Recent scattered elections have sonie national significance, though perhaps not as much as has been suggested.
Some of the contests were of considerable interest beyond
city and state borders.
There was no surprise in Mississippi's election of another Democratic governor. The situation in, Kentucky is
more noteworthy. There, although the. state' now has two
Republican senators, a Democrat' was elected governor by
a wide margin. This hints at a weakening of. Republican.
Gov. A. B. Chan^le^'s influence. It also may ideate that
Kentucky, which wentv for President, fiisenh.wer in 1956,
is now back in the Democratic fold.
Democrats showed great strength in mayoralty elections in Ohio, Indiana and Connecticut. The, city race which
attracted the most w.idespread~attentiio;ri was that in Philadelphia, where Harold E.- Stassen's political decline was
given a push by M&yor Richardson Dilworth's return to
office. Whatever else this, shews, it does.point.to.the,fact_|
that Philadelphia, once .T.GCXP GibralteiV is" now* a'nemo-'

the planning commission to
change the setback limit when,

come from council.
Another amendment =ugges+ed

ompleted before council would
ccept the street.
